After the summer regular season between lpl and lck ended last week, lpl has completed the group stage, and the next step is the intra-group competition. lck’s first round has not yet completely ended, but both sides will be suspended for a few days. Because it has to make way for the next Saudi E-Sports World Cup.
The lol project of the Saudi E-sports World Cup invited four teams from China and South Korea to participate. At present, several teams have also set off for their destinations. However, before departure, tes's AD player jkl complained about this time in his live broadcast. The organizer of the itinerary was so stingy that they only reimbursed the economy class. It took more than ten hours to fly. If you wanted to upgrade, you had to pay for it at your own expense.
This remark aroused heated discussion, especially among some of the older generation of e-sports people, because they knew that in the chaotic era when e-sports first emerged, how much e-sports professionals had to sacrifice for their championship dreams. Bitter, how much sweat I shed.
Huang Xudong commented during the live broadcast:
"Lol players are still complaining about the economy class for the Petroleum Cup! I can only say that the young players now, oh, they have never suffered! They upgraded themselves, but I just say They have never suffered! Better e-sports players may not feel anything about this. Brother Sun used to take the green train for a few hours and go back after losing the BO1. This is how he was worth tens of millions."
Does that make sense?
Those e-sports professionals back then were really just trying to cross the river because e-sports had just broken out. They had no money, no one, and no power. They could only explore bit by bit. They had gone through hardships. It is precisely because of the pioneering work of these predecessors that the huge e-sports industry has been built. They are craftsmen and meritorious service.
At that time, in order to attract sponsorship and save money for the team, Ruofeng would save whatever he could, and that's how he got the photo of him sitting on the ground on a train on the Internet. In order to play games, when Sun Yalong first entered the LoL circle, he and his teammates crowded into the guest house and used the small Internet cafe outside for training. There are too many such stories in the history of domestic e-sports.
Nowadays, the environment is better, and players have higher requirements. After all, most of them have never experienced those hardships, and they have no idea what it feels like to be rewarded after all the hardships. These current professional players have been in such a generous environment since the day they started playing professionally. , they live in a villa, and the best room for the players is a two-person room. There is a dedicated logistics team responsible for daily life and food. There is a special car to pick up and drop off when playing games. Traveling far away is either by high-speed rail or plane. They have no worries about food and clothing and make a lot of money. This way The environment makes these people remember the bitterness and sweetness? It's impossible even if you think about it.
Why is Huang Xudong so angry? Is it really what many people say, that he is upset that he has not received the e-sports bonus, and that as a senior, he relies on his old age and cannot meet the current players?
I don’t think so. His attitude towards today’s players is more chilling, because the current environment is better, but the professionalism of this group of professional players is far inferior to that of their predecessors.
Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s just talk about the recent one, xiaolaohu from fpx. After a few words with the manager, he gave up and threatened to stop playing. Cube was criticized by fans because he lost the game, and his mentality was so bad that he retired to work as a companion. Now, It’s tiring to fly in economy class to play a game. Isn’t this hypocritical?
will not let you relive the hard life of your predecessors, but how much of the spirit of their generation of e-sports people can still be seen today?
